"Grayer Than The Blood That Flows From A Snowman"

You know, when you write a song called "Detatchable Penis," nobody will ever let you live it down.

I recently discovered the King Missile album They and liked it very much. The name King Missile did not ring any bells for me, for whatever reason.

I asked a friend of mine, "hey, you ever heard of this 80s avant garde kinda band King Missile?"

He said, a bit quizzically, "you mean the "Detachable Penis" guys?"

So, my quaint little "discovery" was ruined by the fact that, in 1992, John S. Hall wrote & recorded a borderline-novelty song.

Well, whatever. In 1988, They was released, and round about track 7, was the song "Margaret's Eyes," which makes me wish I knew more people named Margaret.

"Grayer than the cigarette falling on the sofa, these are Margaret's eyes..."

Track #92 on that player over there. Detachable Penis, indeed.
